by Eve Langlais

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

I’ve really enjoyed all of these shifter “Point” books that Eve Langlais has written. It starts with Kodiak Point with Alaskan shifters, including a moose and caribou. Then she spins off to Bitten Point, which has crocs and pythons. Then she spins off to this Dragon Point series, where we get dragons. I know that sounds like a lot, but each series does stand alone. I would recommend starting with book one for whichever series you want to try, but each series stands alone from the others. You will pick up some Easter eggs from the previous series and there are some minor characters that carryover. If you want to read about really funny shifters, Eve Langlais is your girl.

So in the first book, we learned that dragons exist and that the other shifters are out to the humans. Dragons are still in hiding. They still remember the ages of knights that liked to hunt them down. They are just now getting their numbers back to where they feel they should be. However, there are still some rules in place to keep those numbers up. If a female doesn’t have a mate before their 28th birthday, they will be forced to live with the female head of their clan and get artificially inseminated to produce the next generation. In the first book, we watched as Aimi found her mate with someone from Bitten Point. Now it is her twin sister’s turn.

Adi is quite the hacker. She is looking into a company called Lytropia Institute. She’s convinced that they are just Bittech in disguise and that they are doing tests on shifters and humans. She also has a bit of infatuation with the IT guy there. Little did she realize (at least until later), that he was looking into the company too.

Dex is a hacker for hire. He’s really good at his job. That is until a little someone distracts him. He tries his best to hold her off, but it only works for so long. She keeps trying to come up with a pet name for him, but he has as comeback for every name she uses.

This was another fun installment of this series. I love Eve Langlais. Again, I would read this series starting with book one, Becoming Dragon. There is an overall story arc for each series that makes it very helpful to read in order (again, each of these “Point” series can be read as stand alone).

Narration
Chandra Skyye has been narrating these series from the beginning. Actually, the first book I ever listened to her narrated was the first Kodiak Point book. She’s done several of Eve’s series since then. While I don’t love her, I think she does a good job. She voices male and female character well. She doesn’t have a large pool of voices to choose from, so if you listen to several series close together, you will hear her reusing voices, but not within the same book. I would also like someone who brought out more of the humor of these stories. I have gotten used to her and would think it was weird to change narrators at this point.
